8081 Aluminum Sheet

Aluminum alloys in the 8000 series are widely used by our customers in the aluminum packaging industry. Among these alloys, 8081 is highly prized for its formability, impermeability, corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and availability of multiple decorative finishes. Aluminum sheets made from 8081 can be hot or cold rolled depending on the requirement, and are used extensively in the manufacture of bottle caps.

8081 aluminum sheet products supplied by Inquivix Technologies can be delivered in the gauge (thickness), width, length, decorative finish, and temper state desired. We also offer industrial-grade aluminum plate, foil, and coil products as well as new scrap material. All Inquivix Technologies products are made to strict quality standards and can be delivered anywhere in the world.

Material Properties Of
8081 Aluminum

High in Tensile Strength, Lightweight, and Formable

8081 has high strength due to its unique chemical composition. It is also light and high in formability, allowing us to easily shape it into the end product our customers require. Both direct casting and continuous casting are feasible options with 8081 aluminum sheets. The alloy can be hot or cold-rolled depending on the specific material properties required for the end-user application.

Can Undergo Heat Treatment And Tempering

The surface of 8081 aluminum sheets has great adhesion properties. This makes it easy to manufacture sheets with a variety of finishes including mill finish, lacquered, or chromated depending on the type of decorative surface needed. This is how the various branding colors, designs, and labeling can be done easily for the PP bottle caps.

Excellent Barrier Properties

Aluminum alloy 8081 is corrosion-resistant. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent barrier properties, making it impermeable to gas, light, and liquids. These sealing properties are the main reason 8081 is highly valued by the packaging industry for closure applications. Roll-on-pilfer-proof caps also known as ROPP caps (or PP caps for short) are used to securely close wine, spirits, juice, soft drink, energy beverage, and isotonic beverage bottles are made using 8081 aluminum sheet products.

Recyclable

Just like any other type of aluminum alloy, 8081 can be easily and economically recycled without losing any of the unique material properties of the alloy. In addition to our aluminum products like sheets, coil, and foil, we also provide new scrap which can be recycled in a sustainable and environmentally-friendly way.

FAQs

What Is 8081 Aluminum Alloy?

8081 is an aluminum alloy that has a unique chemical composition with a high tin concentration compared to other alloys. This makes it strong, resistant to fatigue, and very tough in general. It has high corrosion resistance, excellent barrier properties, and is very formable, making it an ideal material to make pilfer-proof (PP) bottle caps.

What Is 8081 Aluminum Sheet Used For?

The impressive barrier properties of 8081 make it impermeable to light, gas, and liquids. It is also easy to decorate its surface due to adhesion properties. These two characteristics make the alloy useful for making pilfer-proof (PP) caps in a variety of designs for sealing bottles that contain wine, spirits, juice, soft drinks, energy drinks, isotonic drinks, and more.
